In the ever-evolving tapestry of New York City’s nightlife, the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge emerges as a vibrant gem that sparkles with whimsy, fun, and the quintessential Manhattan flair. As the city's largest indoor/outdoor all-season hotel rooftop bar and lounge, it's located atop the Moxy Times Square, delivering a night (or day) of enchantment that’s aptly in tune with its magical name.
The Landscape of Playful Elegance
Magic Hour plays with the theme of an "urban amusement park" in the heart of the Big Apple. Upon entering, you're greeted by a lush landscape, exuding the aura of a fantastical garden party. Topiary animals, mischievously manicured shrubs, and rotating seating options set the stage for a playful experience. But it's not all games – the elegantly furnished spaces and soft, atmospheric lighting bring a touch of sophisticated charm, blending fantasy with upscale reality.
A View Like No Other
While New York is famed for its skyline views, Magic Hour offers a particularly breathtaking panorama. The lounge provides a clear, sweeping view of the Empire State Building, making it an iconic spot to capture the city's majesty, especially during the eponymous "magic hour" when the sun sets and casts its golden hue over the metropolis.
Culinary Delights in a Carnival Setting
The gastronomic offerings at Magic Hour are as tantalizing as its vistas. With a menu inspired by state fair classics, guests can indulge in gourmet takes on beloved favorites. Miniature lobster rolls, carnival-inspired treats, and more, promise a feast that’s both nostalgic and novel.
Sip and Swing
The drink menu at Magic Hour is nothing short of enchanting. From colorful concoctions served in carnival ride-themed containers to classic cocktails with a twist, each drink is a nod to the bar's playful spirit. The highlight, perhaps, is the lounge's 'Fore Play' area, featuring a mini-golf course aptly named 'Putt Putt', which adds a whole new layer of fun to the term 'bar games'.
Dance Under the Stars... or the Disco Ball
As dusk turns to night, Magic Hour transforms into a dance haven. With resident and guest DJs spinning tracks, the rooftop pulses with energy, making it an ideal spot for those looking to dance the night away under the Manhattan sky.
Seasonal Sensations
Magic Hour's adaptability ensures that it's a hotspot throughout the year. From summer parties to winter soirées, the all-season space, with its retractable roof, ensures that guests can experience the magic regardless of the weather.

Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge is more than just a venue; it's an experience that captures the essence of New York's vibrant spirit. It's a place where whimsical meets chic, where every evening feels like an event, and where the magic of NYC is celebrated in all its grandeur.
